  Hi all need HELP.  I am level 69 Pro with 74.55 score.  I bought the P G10 steel level 58.  Every since I bought them few weeks ago, they are horrible.  I have approach shot at say 160 with very little winds.  My irons with say 175 yards don't even make it and even lower irons barely make it...I always have to go a lower iron...I clear my cache alot, (brower and cookies alot everyday.  It appears that for some reason these irons are defaulting to my previous Irons I sold.

  What can I do?  Had them few weeks now and players said wow you shoulda made that with that iron......have many players say something very wrong!

  Any suggestions?  I have windows XP love it and clear out everything everyday so that's not it.  Does anyone like the I15 irons at level 68?  Some like it some don't...Am so confused here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Try going here and clicking on delete all sites, that will get rid of the data for your old clubs.  You'll get a putting help pop-op next time you get to a green but it's worth it.

  Great answer, MM. Better than just saying clear your cache. By the looks of it she's been just clearing the browser cache, not the Flash cache where that info is kept.

  Be aware that doing this changes all your game settings and makes you turn off the lessons feature. Not a big deal but go to your in game settings and put them back the way you want them. Initial load times in your games might be a bit longer at first but after a few rounds you'll be back to normal. Have fun with your new clubs.  ;-)

  Thanks YJ.

  And Linda, sorry I didn't go into more detail, I posted in a hurry but I figured someone would explain what it was about.

  The G10 irons:

  So... the PW and 9 iron are strong.  No wind with full backspin, they will go farther than hit.  In other words, a 3MPH wind any direction, if you hit the G10 PW 100% with full BS, you will go more than the listed 115.  Same with the 9 Iron and 130.  As an example, earlier I had fairway, 101 yards, 3 MPH crosswind.  I hit 90% of a PW, which should be 103.5y.  It went 107.  The 8 Iron is pretty accurate distance wise.  But now... the 7 Iron lists at 160.  It will only go 160 in a strong tail wind, or with no backspin.  A 7 MPH crosswind, full backspin, no elevation, the club goes about 146-148.  Add elevation or headwind and it's lack of length is even more pronounced.  The 6 Iron list at 175.  This is also a shorter club than listed.  It isn't as bad as the 7 Iron, but still.  For most shots in low winds, I hit an extra 5 yards with full backspin.  With the 6 Iron, I need to hit an extra 8 yards.  With the 7 Iron, and extra 10-12 yards.  Once you get below the 6 Iron, things seem to go back to normal.  The 5 seems to be true to 190, the 4 to 200, and the 3 to 210.  But those higher irons are inconsistent until you learn their foibles.

  In addition, the 7 and 6 are more difficult to stop than the other irons.
